Parker Pearson · Answer 1

I disagree

Explanation:

I disagree because Scripto has been advised that the manufacturer is insecure when it is used by the children because they have been aware of 25 previous cases.

To ignore the security requirements, Script made a conscious decision that was 40 cent, but less if they had added it to the initial design. Because technical design plans included a protective feature for children which would be a better choice for the welfare of the consumer, the court of appeal reversed the decision based on the criterion for risk-benefit. The risk value test would show that "excessive preventable danger" existed and that the use of the alternate conception with the child safety feature avoided this and offered greater certainty for all clients.
